Noun

pinte f (plural pintes)

1. (Canada) a French-Canadian term for an Imperial quart, equal to ¹⁄₄ of an Imperial gallon, 2 Imperial pints, 40 Imperial ounces or 1.136 liters
2. (France, obsolete) a French pre-metric measurement of capacity or volume equal to 0.952 liters. Under the monarchy its size varied depending on the region, with the Parisian pinte being equivalent to 0.93 liters. 1 pinte ("quart") = 2 chopines ("pint") = 4 demiards ("half-pint")
   • 1831, Eugène Sue, chapter 1, in Atar Gull, page 14:

     […] son grand pot d’étain qui tenait trois pintes.

     […] his big pewter tankard which held three pintes [approximately six pints or three liters].

3. (France) a metric pint (0.5 liters). This was done to reduce confusion between the similar American pint [0.473 liters], Imperial pint [0.568 liters] or Système International metric "pint" [0.500 liters] and the French pinte [0.952 liters]. 1 pinte [0.5 liters] ("pint") = 2 demi-pintes or chopines [0.250 liters] ("half-pint")
4. (France) Bottle of beer or wine with capacity of 50 centiliters, equivalent to ²⁄₃ of a standard wine or liquor bottle
